As an aside really, there are tools available for managing large numbers of
machines.
If anyone needs such a thing, have a look at LCFG  http://www.lcfg.org
(there are other tools like this)

And for updating RPM based systems, have a look at Freshrpms,
Current http://current.tigris.org/ and
YUM http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/
I've never used YUM, however Dr. Brown from Duke speaks highly of it.

On the Debian side, there is FAI - Fully Automated Install
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/
Again, haven't used it but wort mentioning for completeness.
